Uh, no.  The reason AAP is such a target is because ALL taxpayers are funding this program, but unlike Special Ed, most kids admitted to AAP are not gifted and don't need special services.  No one is arguing that we need to do away with programs like Special Ed - obviously, there's a tremendous need for those kids to receive services.  Taxpayers are happy to help.  What we're [i]not[/i] happy to do, however, is spend money on frivolous programs for enormous groups of mostly average kids who don't need special intervention at all.  In fact, that "enrichment" we're paying for could easily benefit ALL kids, but isn't.  If calling inequity "jealousy" makes you feel better, then so be it.  But as long as we're all footing the bill for your kid's extra (and unnecessary) enrichment, expect some push back by those of us who realize this is a PUBLIC school system, not an exclusive private school within a school for some but not all.[/quote]
